Of medicines and physicians, but none

the use of DIR. Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy,
and before had used it four days, the pain

FROM the Chronicle, May 9th, 1887:

From the Chronicle, May 27th, 1887:
NJ Thos. NJ. Goldsworthy, late
county clerk of Iowa county, has
been engaged for the past few weeks
in making preparations at Linden
for the removal of his family from
Dodgeville' and expects to remove
there the first week in June.
Henry Prideaux, Sr., of DODGE
Vile left here on Tuesday morn
ing for trip to England, the home
of his birth. He was accompanied
by w. ID. Pascoe and Jack Carkeek
the Cornish-style wrestler, who GOES
there for the purpose of testing the
ring muscle of some of the English
athletes.
Mr.. Lloyd Jones, of this village.
received a dispatch yesterday morn.
ing, announcing the death of his
wfe's mother Mrs. J. w. Jones, on
the Goth inst, at the Welsh Settle
meut, in the the town of Mifin. in
this county. Deceased was one of
the early settlers and was about 70
years of age.
Mr.. Joseph Pearce's friends in
Dodgeville, will greatly sympa-
thize with him in the calamity that
befell him last week at Lake LIN
den, Mich, in the entire destruction
of his property by fire. The proper
~ consisted in buildings aud full
stock of hardware, all of which
were valued at about $4,000, aud he
had but about $4,000 Insurance on
It, Dir. w. j. Pearce, of this vii.
lage, a brother, received a letter from
him last Monday in which he gives
statement Of his losses. Tho doc.
tor advised him to 60 on and rebuild
and open up business again, which
he will no doubt do at once. The
origin of the fire which burned up
the town appears to be regarded
there as mysterious, it being said
that it started in the upper rooms of
a general dry goods store when all
the proprletrrs were absent from the
town aud the stock Of goods in the
store was insured for S55, 900, when
the value of them was estimated at
only $50, 900.

I WONDER

Why it is that abstinence makes
the heart grow fonder?
If the position of judge is a
trsing one?
Who ever heard of a hen laying
a corner stone?
Why it is that base ball, although
played out, is always popular?
If a woman who is the promptest
to Judge is the best judge Of women?
If editor O'Brien didn't slip up
on a piece Of orange peel? He's
not the first, anyhow.
If loving another fellows sister
is not about the only style that does
not change?
Why liquor laws are generally 80
badly constructed that they will not
hold water?
If it is not so that many who
wish us good morning are not the
cause Of our having bad night?
If be who is always con the trail
of lady is not an Indian?
If the Sewers really intend TO
challenge the White Stockings?
If jim Thrasher's shoes didn't
cut a figure in the game Of ball
on Monday?
If there is man in this city SO
stingy as to use wart on his neck
for a collar buttonS
If there is enough oxide in the
zinc works nine to whitewash the
seWers2
IF any one was sorry TO see L
rain Decoration Day?

REV. II. G. MEYERS, Of the NJ. E.
church in this city, aud Rev. John
Pitcher, Of Mineral Point, exchang-
ed pulpits on last Sunday. AT the
conclusion of the evening services
at Mineral Point, Rev. Meyers sug-
gested TO his wife that the evening
was pleasant, the roads good and a
drive home would be pleasant She
assented and they started, leaving
Mineral Point on dusty roads; bat
before they had gone two miles
they found mud, which thickened
as they came south, by the time
they reached the +. NJ. church in
Willow Springs, the roads became
so bad and the night so dark that to
proceed further was impossible, 80
they put the horse into one Of the
stalls in the shed adjacent to the
church, ran the buggy into another,
went TO sleep in the vehicle aud
stayed there until morning when
